How much does the 2022 Jeep Compass cost?

Prices have softened 7.74% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,628 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Jeep Compass a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Jeep Compass earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 8/10.

Owners consistently praise the Compass for its comfort, value for money, and impressive features. The interior design also draws positive feedback, and the overall tone of owner comments suggests strong satisfaction with the cabin and day-to-day livability.

On the downside, the expert review calls out fairly pedestrian performance and poor value for money. That matters most if you want a compact SUV that feels quick or especially cost-efficient, but the Compass still fits well if you want a more premium-feeling small SUV with Jeep identity and upgraded tech.

Good and great deals account for 35.7% of listings, so you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Jeep Compass reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with praise centered on comfort and value. The expert review also notes that Jeep includes three years of free scheduled maintenance through the Jeep Wave program, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about whether the vehicle has been maintained well and driven gently, especially given the drivetrain’s less polished character.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Jeep Compass?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper history review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the drivetrain, suspension behavior, and how the driver-assistance systems operate in real-world driving. It also makes sense to pay close attention to cabin condition and feature operation, since the Compass’s appeal depends heavily on its upgraded interior and technology.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup starts with the Sport trim level and moves up through Latitude, Latitude Lux, Limited, Trailhawk, and High Altitude. The base trim is the least expensive entry point, while higher trims add more upscale materials and features, with the High Altitude described as the most expensive version.
• Powertrain: Every version uses a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 177 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel-drive models use a six-speed automatic, while AWD models use a nine-speed automatic. The review notes that the drivetrain feels busy and slow to respond, and that a turbocharged engine would improve performance.
• Safety package: Every version includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Highway Assist is available later in the model year, and it pairs adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance. Parallel and perpendicular parking assistance and a 360-degree surround-view camera are also available.
• Infotainment: An 8.4-inch touchscreen is standard, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen is available. Wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, over-the-air updates, and voice text-to-reply are included, and the system can also support navigation, connected services, a WiFi hotspot, Alexa Built-In, and wireless device charging.
• Fuel efficiency: The expert review says the EPA rated the tested AWD model at 25 mpg in combined driving, and the test loop returned 23.8 mpg.

Which 2022 Jeep Compass trim should I buy?

The 2022 Jeep Compass is offered in 6 trim levels: Sport, Latitude, Latitude Lux, Limited, Trailhawk, and High Altitude.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Compass lineup and are comfortable starting with the basics.
• Latitude: This is the first step up from the base trim and is the better choice if you want a more balanced mix of equipment without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• Latitude Lux: This trim adds a more upscale feel and is a smart middle-ground choice if you want more comfort and refinement without going all the way to the top.
• Limited: This is the trim to target if you want a stronger blend of premium features and everyday usability, especially if you care about the Compass’s more upscale presentation.
• Trailhawk: Choose this if you want the most capable off-road version, since it adds the low-range AWD system, 20:1 crawl ratio, hill descent control, skid plates, and extra ground clearance.
• High Altitude: This is the best fit if you want the most luxurious-feeling Compass, with the richest interior presentation and the most fully loaded test-drive setup.

The safety package is broad across the lineup, but Highway Assist and some parking aids remain available rather than standard.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Jeep Compass?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 35.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,628 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.74% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,856, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Jeep Compass's resale value?

The current average of $20,856 sits slightly below last year's $22,604.

That price movement suggests the Compass has softened enough to help you buy more selectively today, but it also means future sellers may face a more competitive resale environment if the market stays soft. If you buy at the right price now and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you can help protect your eventual trade-in or private-party value.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Jeep Compass safe?

The 2022 Jeep Compass earns a three-star rollover resistance rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Every version comes with forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Highway Assist is available later in the model year and combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assistance, while parallel and perpendicular parking assistance and a 360-degree surround-view camera are also available.

The review also notes some caveats: lane-keep assist can feel too obvious at lower speeds, and the forward-collision warning system produced false positives in some situations.

Should I buy a 2022 Jeep Compass or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 35.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.74% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 brings a more upscale interior and upgraded tech.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $22,539, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $20,856 average.
• It adds a standard turbocharged engine and standard all-wheel drive.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2022 is the smarter starting point because prices are softer and inventory is healthy. If you can spend more and want the newer mechanical upgrades, the 2023 is the stronger choice; price-sensitive buyers should focus on the 2022.
